After her brother left, Lu Ruoqing was not in a hurry to sleep.

She stood in the courtyard and looked at the lanterns hanging in the yard, which were bright and colorful, which was really gorgeous and charming.

It's a pity that she will enter the palace tomorrow and can't see it.

Mint came up and handed her a hand stove, looked at it and asked, "Miss will enter the palace tomorrow, these lanterns, if you are reluctant, put them away, right?" I'll keep it for Miss. ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, turned her head and asked her, "How about you go to the palace with me?" ”

Mint was surprised, "Me? ”

"Don't you want to?" A flash of disappointment flashed in Lu Ruoqing's eyes.

"No, it's just ......, I feel stupid, I'm afraid I'll lose face to the young lady by entering the palace." Mint looked nervous.

Lu Ruoqing explained: "According to the rules, there is a little palace maid next to the female official in front of the emperor, who serves the daily grooming and does not have to do anything else. ”

A hint of thought flashed in Mint's eyes.

Lu Ruoqing said again: "You are not the son of the Lu family, you have been adopted by Yazi since you were a child, you have no parents, brothers and sisters, and your service is quite proper, so I chose you." ”

Mint hurriedly said, "Thank you Miss for the compliment." ”

"Of course, if you don't want to enter the palace, I won't force it."

Mint hesitated, "Then I'm ......, if I become a little palace maid, can I leave the palace after three years?" ”

Lu Ruoqing couldn't help laughing.

She said, "Don't worry, I won't delay your marriage." ”

In addition to being promoted, palace maids are changed every three years.

Three years later, if she has gained a firm foothold in the palace, she will naturally have people available around her, and she will not be short of a mint.

Mint gritted her teeth and nodded, "Then I'll listen to Miss and go to the palace." ”

Lu Ruoqing said with a smile: "The monthly order in the palace can be doubled." ”

It just so happened that Mama Jin came over, heard this, and asked, "Lady Lu wants to bring mint to the palace?" All arranged? ”

After all, now is not the year for the general election of palace maids, and the palace maids must be placed next to Lu Ruoqing, so they have to be a little backstage.

Lu Ruoqing didn't shy away from it, and nodded: "As long as Mint is willing." ”

Mama Jin smiled: "It's okay, my own girl is easy to use." ”

But I thought in my heart, if Mint entered the palace, it would probably be with the help of the power of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, right?

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is hot about Female Official Lu, and Female Official Lu also wants to refuse and welcome back, it is really a concubine.

But ......, the female official in front of the imperial court is not allowed to marry or leave the palace before the age of twenty-five, how many things will happen in ten years? Therefore, the ending of these two is really hard to say.

However, none of this is her concern.

Mama Jin retracted her floating thoughts and said, "Lady Lu, you must report to the palace before the end of tomorrow hour, counting the time to pack up and hurry, you have to get up at the beginning of the morning and go to bed early." ”

Lu Ruoqing nodded, "Okay." ”

She reluctantly looked at the rows of lanterns, walked over, and stroked them one by one.

Then he turned back to his room and said, "Put it all away." ”

Mint didn't understand and asked, "Miss, don't you wait until tomorrow morning to take a look?" ”

Lu Ruoqing didn't look back, "No need." ”

She didn't want to see it again tomorrow morning.

Mint is not very old, and his mind is simple, so he was confused and went forward to clean up the lanterns, muttering in his mouth: "So anxious, even if we leave tomorrow, there will be a girl to clean up." ”

Mama Jin understands.

It's just that in front of the mint, I didn't specifically break it.

Lu Ruoqing went back to the house and called Ti Ying, "Anyway, you don't have a deed of sale with me, tomorrow I leave, you can pack up your baggage and leave." ”

Ti Ying had a strange face.

Lu Ruoqing asked, "What's wrong?" Don't say you can't bear me. ”

Ti Ying gritted her teeth and muttered, "I didn't!" But His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes said, let me enter the palace with you and continue to protect your safety, and I will also enter the palace tomorrow. ”

"You ...... too?"

"You don't talk a lot!" Ti Ying exhaled.

"Me?" Lu Ruoqing was stunned and couldn't help laughing, "I swear, I definitely didn't tell His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes that I wanted to keep you, this must have been his own idea, I just think you are familiar with me." ”

"Then I'm going to make a request."

"What?"

Ti Ying looked at her seriously and said, "It's not a problem for me to protect you, but ......, when His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes leaves the capital, you have to let me leave with me, and you can't let His Highness blame me." ”

Lu Ruoqing was slightly surprised, "Your Highness said when you would leave?" ”

"Nope." Ti Ying shook her head, and then said: "But if you are a female official in front of the imperial court until you are twenty-five years old, Your Highness can't stay in the capital all the time, right?" Always have to go. ”

Lu Ruoqing's heart slammed.

Yes, Xiao Shaoxuan will leave sooner or later.

Ti Ying said seriously: "You promise me, you must not regret it when the time comes, I must go to Mobei with His Highness." ”

Lu Ruoqing suddenly looked at her seriously and asked, "You know that Your Highness likes me, and you are so undisguised, are you sure that I will not stumble on you?" I still feel that there is definitely no result between me and him. ”

Ti Ying was stunned, and then snorted coldly, "What results can you have?" Even if you don't become a female official in front of the palace, with King Huan in the middle, Your Highness and you will not have results. ”

Lu Ruoqing laughed when she heard this.

yes, even Ti Ying could see that they didn't have a result.

Ti Ying blinked and asked her, "Aren't you going to speak ill of me to Your Highness?" I ......, even if I care about Your Highness, I haven't done anything to be sorry for you. ”

Lu Ruoqing shook her head, "No, don't think nonsense. ”

Ti Ying snorted: "I grew up in Mobei since I was a child, and the girls over there like people are above board, which is not a mistake." ”

"You're not wrong." Lu Ruoqing looked at her with a smile and said, "It's a good thing to like someone, as long as you don't hurt people because of it, there's nothing wrong." ”

Ti Ying seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Then I will protect your safety, and you will let me go in the future." ”

Lu Ruoqing held back the bitterness in her heart, "Okay, it's a word." ”

This night, she tossed and turned and didn't sleep well.

When I woke up the next day, there was a faint dark blue under my eyelids.

Mama Jin looked a little anxious.

"Why haven't you slept well? Are you nervous about entering the palace? Wait and roll the peeled eggs and cover them with a little more powder, so as not to lose the etiquette in front of the emperor. ”

"Okay, I remember." Lu Ruoqing responded.

Mint told the small kitchen to hurry up and boil the eggs, and when they were done, she rolled her eyelids several times.

Lu Ruoqing originally just wanted to paint a light makeup.

Seeing that Mama Jin said solemnly, she applied a little more powder around her eyes, but fortunately, she was young and delicate, and she still looked very natural.

Mama Jin couldn't help but boast: "Female official Lu is naturally beautiful, she stays up late, and it won't be obvious when she covers it with powder." ”

Lu Ruoqing cleaned up and asked, "Mama, take a look, but there is something inappropriate." ”

Mama Jin smiled: "No, no, it's just ......, Lady Lu looks too good." ”

Peppermint was puzzled and asked, "It's good, isn't it good?" ”

Mama Jin smiled and said subtly and euphemistically, "If you look too good, you will attract too many people's attention, and there will be more troubles accordingly." ”

Lu Ruoqing replied: "Mama don't worry, I will follow the rules and not go to the top." ”

Mama Jin nodded with satisfaction, "It's best if you can think so." ”

Gu came in from outside, wearing a thick cloak.

"Mother, why are you here?" Lu Ruoqing greeted her.

"Come and see you." Gu Shi took his daughter's hand, his face was full of reluctance, but it was not good to say much in front of Mama Jin.

"I'll go out and see the baggage first." Mama Jin went out empathetically.

"Mother, you sit." Lu Ruoqing asked Gu to sit down, handed her hand stove to her mother, and said, "Don't worry, let my brother come to see me at the gate of the palace at the end of the month, and I can still pass on the word." ”

Gu Shi's weak face was worried, and said: "Originally, you are young, and going to the palace is enough to make people worry, but the partial life is still serving in front of the palace, which is even more worrying." ”

Lu Ruoqing said with a smile: "The emperor is a Ming Jun, don't worry." ”

Gu wanted to speak and stopped.

Lu Ruoqing said again: "Besides, it's not me who entered the palace alone, Ti Ying and Mint also entered the palace with me, you can rest assured." ”

"Ti Ying and Mint also entered the palace?" It was Lu Mubai who came in from the outside.

He is also going back to Songshan Academy today, but he is not as anxious as his sister, and it is not yet dawn.

"It's already arranged." Lu Ruoqing replied.

"Arranged by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?"

"Hmm."

Lu Mubai and Gu were silent.

Lu Ruoqing smiled: "What's wrong with you?" Isn't it good to have someone to accompany me and take care of me? ”

"Ruoqing." Gu Shi looked at her seriously and said worriedly: "Your Highness is good to you, of course it is good, but ......, you should pay attention after entering the palace, so as not to cause taboos." ”

Lu Mubai also said: "Yes, the palace is not as good as the outside." ”

Lu Ruoqing smiled, pretending to be relaxed, "What are you all thinking?" I entered the palace as a former female official, and I was under the emperor's nose every day, so can I not pay attention? His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes didn't dare to be casual. ”

When she said this, Gu and Lu Mubai were a little relieved.

Mama Jin urged outside: "Female Officer Lu, it's not too early to leave." ”

"Okay, come on." Lu Ruoqing stood up and saluted her mother and brother.

Gu Shi choked up slightly.

Lu Ruoqing smiled and said: "I'm leaving, my brother remembers to come to see me at the end of the month, it's sixteen today, and I can see you in half a month." ”

Lu Mubai nodded and personally sent his sister out until he got into the carriage.

At this time, the sky was just bright, and it was gray and gray.

Mama Jin said in the carriage: "Lady Lu, while you haven't arrived in the palace yet, you close your eyes and rest for a while, and then you will be more energetic." ”

"Okay." Lu Ruoqing is as good as a stream, it is good to close her eyes and not be able to sleep and rest for a while.

---- her life is about to open a new scene.
